Engedélye

Engedélye is the Hungarian possessive form of the noun engedély, which denotes a permit or authorization granted by a competent authority. In use, engedély refers to the official permission to perform a specific activity or to use restricted resources. Engedélye means “his/her/its permit” and is used when referring to that person’s or entity’s authorization.

There are many types of engedélyes, corresponding to different legal contexts. A typical example is an építési engedély, or building permit, required for construction projects under building regulations. A működési engedély authorizes a business to operate. Környezetvédelmi engedély covers compliance with environmental requirements. Munkavállalási engedély or munkavégzéshez szükséges engedély is relevant for foreigners who wish to work in Hungary. For driving, the term commonly used is vezetői engedély, often called a jogosítvány in everyday language. Other examples include távközlési, fegyver, or kivitel- és beviteli engedély, depending on the activity and governing law.

Obtaining an engedély typically involves submitting an application to the competent authority, along with supporting documents such as plans, safety certificates, or environmental assessments. The agency reviews the request, may impose conditions, and issues a decision. Permits have a validity period and usually require renewal; they can be amended, suspended, or revoked for noncompliance. Appeals and administrative remedies may be available in case of disputes.

In everyday use, engedélye conveys that someone has legal permission to act in a specified area. The concept spans administrative procedures, civil and commercial life, and nuanced legal rights and obligations.
